Chapter 794 Government affairs are busy, and decisions are made quickly
"Scammed out of money? Wait!"
Jia Pingan interrupted her and asked, "Do you live alone now?"
Will this person use this to bully his wife?
Dahong's eyes became more vigilant, and the big eyes rolled a little, "Mr. Wuyang, the lady also has an aunt, and now the whole family is taking care of her."
"That's good."
Jia Ping'an felt that it would be too risky to live alone in such a disaster.
"How did you get cheated of money?"
The food in Chang’an Canteen is good, but Li Jiao’s food is very delicate.
"This dish is overcooked."
A stir-fried mutton dish, Li Jiao felt that it was not tasty after one bite.
This girl really thinks she can still be pampered now?
"Can you cook?"
Jia Pingan smiled.
Li Jiao nodded seriously, "I will."
I believe in your evil!
hehe!
Jia Ping'an chuckled.
Li Jiao looked at him calmly.
I don't have flowers growing on my face.
Jia Ping'an ate a piece of fried lamb... His eyes froze.
I go, really old.
Stir-fried lamb is a failure when it is old, but this one is only a little old.
Ordinary people can't taste it, but Li Jiao easily found the problem.
This woman is… nice.
"how?"
Li Jiao thought that Jia Ping'an was a culinary master, so he thought he should have tasted it.
"The stir-fried mutton made in Chang'an Canteen has this taste, but it is a bit older."
Li Jiao raised her hand and prepared to take the case, furious.
Shameless!
Shameless!
"Tell me about the time you were scammed out of money."
What should I do if someone finds a problem?
It's okay, change the subject and go to uncover her scars.
Li Jiao lowered her hands, and her shoulders relaxed. She frowned and said, "After that old thief died, I waited for a long time, but no one asked me."
"You are still thinking about the distribution of the emperor's package, you are so beautiful." Jia Pingan thinks that this girl is really lucky, "But your luck is good."
"It's good luck to be helpless?"
Li Jiao's eyes were slightly red, "You bully me like this, I...I..."
Are you going crazy, or are you going to flip the table?
Dahong looked at Li Jiao curiously, thinking that the lady was very strong at home, why was she so deflated and helpless when facing this Duke Wuyang?
"You're really lucky."
With such disasters, it will be a death sooner or later if you really enter the harem. Think about Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang, people with a lot of writing. Especially Concubine Xiao Shu, who favored the existence of the Sixth Palace, even the queen was suppressed by her.
But where is she now?
Xiang Xiaoyu died.
Li Jiao couldn't help but roll her eyes, Dahong was dumbfounded.
The lady looks so good-looking even if she rolls her eyes.
"I thought I couldn't just sit and eat, but I didn't know what to do. Later, I thought about setting up a jewelry store. Today I just went to see the goods, and it turned out..."
Li Jiao raised her jade hand and patted the table, her eyes widened, "The man said that there are cheaper products, but he needs a deposit. I saw that he was like a shopkeeper in that jewelry store, so I gave him the money. But I waited in that shop for a long time, but there was no news of that person..."
"This is a scam!"
All kinds of scams in later generations have long since calmed Jia Pingan's training.
Li Jiao said angrily: "How do you know it's a scam? Where are the flaws?"
Dahong nodded, "That's right. My wife and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and we don't think there is any flaw in it."
Jia Pingan looked at them with helpless eyes, "There are no good products at cheap prices. The market of Chang'an jewelry has always been strong and rising steadily. Who will have cheaper products? They are either liars or lunatics."
The two women are clearly holding on.
Give you the last blow!
Jia Pingan said flatly: "You thought he was the shopkeeper, but if I guessed correctly, he even helped out in the shop, right?"
He actually knew... You Ruo witnessed it with his own eyes, Li Jiao nodded slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"This is the game!"
Jia Pingan was very tangled and said: "And when he was discussing with you, he was outside the shop?"
This person...this person even knows this?
Dahong couldn't help being stunned, "Mr. Wuyang, were you outside at that time?"
Li Jiao's beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.
Sister paper, this kind of scam is really too simple.
"He helped in the store and said that the jewelry here is good, high quality and cheap, and the shopkeeper in the store is just his repeat customer... Many repeat customers will take the initiative to say good things about the store, such things... Hey!"
The two clubs were fooled by that man for a while!
"By the way, at first I asked if you want to buy jewelry? There are cheap ones."
If it is certain that it is impossible for him to stare at me, I will go crazy... Li Jiao nodded numbly.
"He originally wanted to lie to you for a piece of jewelry, but he couldn't hold you back and wanted to buy some more!"
After Jia Ping'an's analysis, the two women completely collapsed.
Dahong had a bitter face, "Lady, we have overlooked so many doubts."
Li Jiao felt uncomfortable and lost her appetite.
Jia Ping'an ate deliciously.
"It's delicious."
I'll starve you to death!
Seeing him proud, Li Jiao gritted his teeth and ate with chopsticks. After eating, she suddenly found that she had forgotten her troubles.
Eating delicious food also has this effect?
After dinner, Jia Pingan asked, "What will I do for a living from now on?"
Once this kind of disaster has no way out, most of them will be tricked into a brothel, and then become the top famous prostitute in Chang'an city.
Li Jiao said blankly, "I don't know."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and then tears rolled down her eyes... Not only did she look pitiful, but she even had a hint of charm.
This misfortune is even more beautiful when it cries.
When the man saw such a scene, he might have already responded to his request.
Li Jiao cried silently for a while.
I’m a big killer, even Dahong who is a woman can’t stand it, and those men become idiots when they see it...
Jia Ping'an must have been sluggish.
She raised her head slowly, dazed.
Jia Pingan held a glass of wine and slowly sipped it, his eyes clear.
He was indifferent?
Could it be that he doesn't have the instinct of a man, or... no, he has children.
Jia Pingan glanced at her, and said lightly: "What can you do?"
Li Jiao shook her head, feeling desperate, "I don't seem to know how to do anything."
"Mi Bug?"
Jia Pingan felt that Huoshui was just a sign of bad luck.
"What rice bug?"
Li Jiao was puzzled.
"Eating bugs."
Jia Pingan smiled, "You said you can cook?"
Li Jiao nodded, "Back then, Auntie said that women should enter the kitchen, if they can..."
"Go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen?"
Li Jiao nodded.
I'll go, is that dancer senior?
But it's impossible to think about it.
Jia Ping'an wanted to ignore it, but after all, there was such a fate.
"How do you cook?"
he asked casually.
Dahong couldn't help but said: "Mr. Wuyang, the food cooked by my wife is really delicious, even better than the food outside."
Li Jiao is proud.
Jia Pingan pointed to the dishes on the table, "How does it compare to this?"
Li Jiao's eyes were red again, "It's not as good."
"follow me."
Jia Pingan got up and went out.
Li Jiao followed behind.
"My lady, where are you going?"
Dahong looked at Jia Pingan in front of him warily.
There is a disaster-level master. She feels pleasing to the eye all day long, but at the same time, she is deeply anxious. When she sees a man, she is worried that he has bad intentions for his wife, and her emotions are tense all day long.
"No need to worry."
Li Jiao was very calm.
"The lady is so calm."
Dahong praised.
Li Jiao accepted the compliment unceremoniously, but refused to talk about the experience of being alone with Master Jia in the barren mountains that night.
The kitchen is right behind, and the cooks greeted Jia Pingan while they were busy.
Boom!
The pot suddenly burst into flames, and both Li Jiao and Dahong were taken aback. Dahong jumped back, but Li Jiao hid behind Jia Ping'an.
This is using me as a shield.
Jia Ping'an ordered: "Give me a look at the stove."
Wash the pot and prepare the materials.
"Let me have dried tofu and bean sprouts fried meat, using pig meat."
Jia Pingan looked at Li Jiao, "Look carefully."
Pick up the oil pan, then sauté the **** and garlic until fragrant...
The meat is oiled separately, then stir-fried...
"You should add some sugar when frying this, but the sugar is too expensive, so I will save it."
After some frying, the tofu fried meat is out of the pan.
"Taste."
Li Jiao took the chopsticks and tasted them, "The taste is salty and fragrant, and it is most suitable for eating."
Jia Pingan handed her the spatula.
"I…"
What does he mean by this?
Do you want me to work as a cook in his house?
impossible!
Li Jiao looked at Jia Pingan stubbornly.
The cooks have long been attracted by this disaster. One cook even cut his own finger while cutting vegetables, and the blood flowed all over the chopping board without realizing it.
"Fry one and let me see. If it's good, I'll give you an idea."
Turns out it wasn’t…
I think too much.
Li Jiao came over immediately, the technique was slightly unfamiliar, but the steps were absolutely correct.
After it came out of the pot, Jia Pingan tasted it and nodded slightly, "It's interesting, but it's not easy to practice you here. Where is your home?"
Dahong immediately moved closer, with a nervous look on his face.
Li Jiao said, "I live in Guangdefang."
Jia Ping'an went out of the Chang'an cafeteria first, and heard Dahong muttering behind him, "Lady, there are only two of us at home. He is very powerful. If he wants to do something wrong... unless I have a kitchen knife..."
What about my aunt's family? Jia Pingan smiled.
"Shut up!"
Li Jiao blushed and glanced at Jia Pingan in front of her.
In the barren mountains and wild mountains, Jia Pingan didn't do anything when he was alone and widowed. In this blue sky, or in the workshop, Jia Ping'an is crazy?
Beside Guangdefang is the West Market, which is considered a prime location. Being able to own a house here, Jia Pingan thinks it is Bai Fumei.
Going all the way in, when he saw the somewhat dilapidated house, Jia Pingan asked, "Is this right here?"
Li Jiao nodded.
This house is so ugly, he must be joking...not laughing, but he must be laughing in his heart.
Open the door and go in, but the inside is surprisingly good.
The furniture is made of precious wood at first glance, and those decorations are also worth a lot.
"Let's go to the kitchen."
Li Jiao took off the hood, revealing that charming face.
"Going out in the future... I suggest you find something to wipe your face, dusty ones are the best."
Jia Pingan said casually, and then went to the kitchen.
Big Red was good at making fire, Jia Pingan then taught Li Jiao a few dishes.
"They are all good for dinner."
Li Jiao was puzzled.
"Just learn it."
Jia Pingan clapped his hands, "I'm going back first, and I'll teach you a few dishes tomorrow."
It's not that he brags, if he wants to, he can become a rich man wherever he goes.
On the second day, Jia Pingan came again...
"Mr. Wuyang, don't you need to go to the government office?"
Li Jiao felt very strange, thinking that this man is also the Minister of the Ministry of War, a proper important minister, why is he so idle every day?
"I don't go to the Yamen."
Jia Pingan taught her a few more dishes today.
At noon, the three of them had a meal with the dishes they had cooked.
"tasty."
Dahong's mouth is full of oil.
Huashui eats delicately, chewing slowly.
Jia Ping'an ate very unrestrainedly, and the wind swept away.
Li Jiao looked at him with a frown, thinking that you are a duke, or an important minister...how come you are so unreserved?
There was emotion in her eyes, Jia Pingan saw it and said lightly: "People are alive, and all reservations are fake. On the basis of not affecting others, what's the matter with me eating so heartily? I think Comfortable."
Rude!
Li Jiao added a label to Master Jia.
After dinner, Jia Pingan felt that this matter should be over.
"I thought of a way for you."
Li Jiao quickly gave Dahong a wink.
Remember it for me!
"You go out here to the West Market. There are countless merchants in the West Market, and even more customers. What do you say is the easiest way to make money?"
Li Jiao shook her head.
She's only been out of her pampered state for a few years, and she's been doing well, so she hasn't thought about doing business at all.
"Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most secure. There are so many people in West Market every day, how many people need to eat?"
Dahong was a little puzzled, "Mr. Wuyang, there is a couple in Xishi who are also making this, Yang Da and Zhang's, the food is so cheap, we may not be able to compete."
"Do you understand differentiated competition?"
Jia Pingan felt that these two women were too innocent, "They sell their cheap meals, and you sell yours... Do you think these dishes can be sold cheaply? There are meat and big oil."
Li Jiao shook her head, "It can't be cheap."
The cost is not low, cheap is to kill yourself.
"Then what are you worried about? Just do it. By the way, the West Market is too big, those merchants can't squat at your stall to eat, you go to order a batch of big bowls with ears... like this, get two on both sides Ears that can go through ropes, do you understand? In the end, you have to ask a few men and women to help, otherwise you... will probably die of exhaustion."
Jia Ping'an left, Li Jiao thought for a long time, got up and said, "Go and order a big bowl."
Customized large bowls, but it is impossible to invite people.
"I don't even know if the business is good or not! If it's not good, wouldn't the people here eat and drink for nothing?"
Dahong muttered, this was also Li Jiao's idea.
Cooking all day long, constantly proficient.
At night, Li Jiao lay on the bed, only feeling back pain.
She stared blankly at the void, her mind was in a mess.
"What am I doing alive?"
"Aniang is gone, and that old thief is dead, so I should go with Aniang..."
She got up and took out a painting.
The painting is of a woman...a charming woman.
"Auntie."
Li Jiao blinked her eyes.
Under the moonlight, the woman in the painting is smiling.
Li Jiao gently put her face on the portrait.
Jia Ping'an wanted to inspect Li Jiao's fast food business, but Ren Yaxiang fell ill. Wu Kui should be excited with a lot of affairs in the Ministry of War, but he has a bitter face.
"Mr. Wuyang, there is too much backlog of affairs."
Jia Pingan looked at him, and wanted to say that it had nothing to do with me, but look at that pitiful appearance, that's all.
Wu Kui returned to his duty room, and his confidants laughed and said: "Mr. Wuyang has never dealt with the affairs of the Ministry of War. I'm afraid this is going to be a joke. But it's good to make a joke, just let everyone see his Fineness."
"Nonsense!"
Wu Kui scolded, but there was more satisfaction in his eyes.
The two servants of the Ministry of War, he is a veteran, and Jia Pingan is a backward, but the old man can't help admiring Jia Pingan! Wu Kui has always wanted to find an opportunity to compare Jia Pingan's ability to handle government affairs, and now the opportunity has come.
One after another, the documents were sent, and officials lined up outside waiting for Jia Ping'an's disposition opinion. But they were all whispering, looking relaxed, even smiling contentedly.
"Mr. Wuyang, this Chen Shulang is a general, and he passed the assessment this year."
"Why?"
Jia Ping'an was reading the documents without raising his eyes.
"This person once beat the Shangguan."
"Wang Qilin?"
Jia Ping raised the document, "Wang Qilin humiliated Chen Shulang in public, including his parents! If Chen Shulang doesn't do anything, he's a son of a bitch, and he has no blood. The generals in the army have lost their blood. How can they expect their subordinates to have blood?" Bloody?"
He sneered and said: "Is the report about Chen Shulang related to Wang Qilin? His friend? Or his relationship. This Chen Shulang has been able to train his subordinates, and has followed him on several expeditions. Impeachment about the incident...you dare to act as if nothing happened, is it just drifting away, or..."
He glanced at the horizontal knife hanging on the wall, "Do you still want to be knifed?"
The official was covered in cold sweat, "The lower official made a mistake, please punish him, Mr. Wuyang."
"Don't try to be an officer of the peace. Do you think I don't know what you think? Then Wang Qilin is quite promising, so you want not to offend others, and follow this way to suppress Chen Shulang... If you are so favored, if you are not sure in the future, you will be fine." It can be used, but what about state affairs?"
Jia Ping'an patted the table and cursed: "National affairs have become a tool for you to profit from. If you have more officials like you, how can the Tang Dynasty talk about prosperity? How about a prosperous age? Get out!"
The official was sweating profusely and bowed to leave.
Jia Ping'an said calmly: "I don't know what happened to you before, but this is the last time. If you dare to do this next time, go home and eat yourself!"
"Next!"
An official came in. Just now he was laughing outside with a happy expression, but now he is extremely respectful.
"Mr. Wuyang, this is the person who is going to investigate and outline the geography of mountains and rivers this year."
Jia Pingan took a look, frowned and said, "That's it?"
The official smiled and said: "In the past, these people are all old people, and they know the way."
The Ministry of War should outline the geographical situation of mountains and rivers for inquiry.
Jia Pingan raised his head, "First, these old people can only outline the geography of mountains and rivers in the country, which is not enough. Second, why don't secret spies use it?"
The official was stunned, "Secret spy?"
"Secret spies entering and leaving the foreign domain can easily outline the border and the geography of the foreign domain's mountains and rivers. Why not?"
Well!
The official slapped his forehead, "The lower officials are incompetent, but those secret agents don't know how to draw mountains and rivers?"
The officials outside all spoke in low voices.
"It must be an old man who draws these. Those spies are busy practicing concealment and spying on the news all day long. How do they know this?"
Inside, Jia Ping'an said calmly: "The skill of the secret agent's sketching is what I practiced."
Silent inside and out.
Then solemnly.
Good night!
